first, I think you are missing the simplest point here! also I want to say that i have no intention to insult any race or being racist with my point of view.
(My mom's black, so don't be offended)
I've noticed that almost every black person I've met (even in my family) likes to talk shit about other races. They say "cracker" and "white people" more than white people say the N-word. I've also noticed when asking black friends why they voted for Obama (I did because he was just better than McCain and that dumbfuck Sarah Palin) they kept on saying "the bill". So I was like "which one" and they just kept saying Obama's bill when it was pretty obvious they only voted for him because of his race. Discuss.
how do you react to each one of the "you are good" and "you are stupid" statements separately? i think, you won't oppose to "you are good" statement on the other hand you may have some objection to "you are stupid". when you are called "you are stupid" you try to fight back, to prove to them that you have your own importance in this world, that you have your own self respect.
the race white is like "you are good", there is no insult in saying "that white guy". but the race black is like "you are bad" (no insult to the african americans and other races). everybody wants to be good, handsome, tall, physically fit etc but nobody wants to be bad, ugly, short, fat. in general the skin color white is considered to be the first choice for everyone because it feels good to have a fair skin than that not so great looking black or brown color.
let's say there are 4 black,
physically super fit guys and 1 white,
Fat guy sitting in a room. now call them out with words like "the strong person from the right", "the second strong person", "the third strong person", "the fourth strong person" and finally when it comes to the white fat guy use the words "the last, FAT gentleman". i don't think the white dude like that situation very much.
idk but it doesn't bother me on either side of the fence.
What does bother me is the whole Africa pride, Mexico pride thing where they wear the flag colors and have it posted all over everything they own and tattoo'd on themselves. Seriously? You're proud of africa and mexico? Those places suck so bad even people who pride themselves in being ancestry to the point of shoving it in everyones faces refuse to move back. I mean at least the guidos have unfounded italy pride and british get all retarded about originating from england, but at least those countries are alright to live in. Africa and Mexico? com'n
when they say africa pride or mexico pride or something like that they mean "we know we are not as cool as the (majority) white people as far as our looks are concerned (because i say the skin color white is more desirable than black or brown or any other) but we are no less than them in any other aspect ... it's kind of defending their honor and that only. not africa and mexico are alright to live in or any other stuff."
in fact, please don't get insulted, your using the expression "
at least those countries are alright to live in" is pretty retarded. what's with "being alright to live in a country or any other fucked up place"? i was born in a small village in india (or any other country for general argument) where there was even no electricity until i was 10. i mean i spent a couple of years with just kerosene lamps after i started knowing the world a little. it's not about if you have better facilities in the place you live or not, that african pride or mexican pride is not about "we too live in a cool place" kind of stuff. it's about telling others who treat them like secondary people the words "we are no less than you in any other aspect other than our skin color, which is a pretty retarded way to classify people, and unfortunately which is used by large percentage of people.
This whole concept bugs me too. I mean come on, if I tattooed an English flag on my back, my friends and family would think I'm nuts. If you're family has been in the U.S. more than 2 or 3 generations, I think it should be mandatory that you lose the damn hyphenated American. You're American now, good or bad it's what you are, so quit bitching or bragging about your roots and do something amazing to fulfill your dreams.
Also worth noting, if I walked around with a t-shirt that said white pride, I'd be marked as a racist and jailed for hate crimes.
the whole problems stems from calling and classifying people by their skin color or the kind of places they live in (like super developed usa, uk etc, developing and third world countries). stop fucking using the black, brown kind of words to refer to africans and mexicans and also stop using well developed countries, developing countries and third world countries kind of stupid stuff for a decade or so, and then you won't see the african pride or brown pride kind of stuff from then on.
i think the best way to neutralize the situation is to call "fat people" or such not so good words to refer to white people and use "fucked up countries" to mean to countries which consider them to be super powers in the world. (don't hate me it's just an example, no offense to white people, i have nothing against them :bowdown:, just sharing my views).
